[EURO-Discuss] Discussions at tonight’s Board meeting and Bylaws

Sat Jun 22 13:00:21 UTC 2013

Hello to all,

I agree with Yrjö on all accounts.

I would add that it is of upmost importance that Euralo settles this 
matter internally ASAP. An external challenge would be detrimental to 
the credibility of Euralo.
